Casole d'Elsa from Il Merlo

Tuscany, italy

At just 2.3km, Casole d'Elsa from Il Merlo is short but deceptively intense — 109m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.8% disguises ramps of 13.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. Located in Tuscany, Italy.
